The lights look great in the city, Carol. Makes me miss NY...thanks for sharing. I remember with great fondness going into the city to meet my dad for lunch and watch the skaters at Rockefeller Plaza...

I have one child in Paris, one in NYC and YOU are the only one who actually shares photos of those wonderful cities lights! Merci! I dream of being in a city for the holiday lights and seasonal flavored macarons someday.( and a hot dog from a cart!!!yum.) Many Thanks from your fan in rural Oregon

Just magical! I loved the simplicity of the giant red ornaments stacked amid the row of twinkly lit barebranched trees! Of Liz's sparkling jewels, I am green with envy of whoever won the bid on the emerald & diamond fleurs! I could see me walking the red carpet of the Main Asile of the Barn, to the maaaas & baaas of my herd of admirers!!

The Rock center shots are great and bring back fond memories.Everytime I went there people seemed to be relaxed and having fun, not like NYC generally!The diamonds and gems? Beautiful - but good grief - the prices.....:)

When I see the official photos of Elizabeth Taylor and those fabulous gems, I wonder which sparkled more. I imagine that any of her admirers who wanted to purchase those sparklers must have granted the buyer an immense discount, knowing that the glory would continue for decades. And they have.

Isn't it good that today it actually seems to be a bit chilly? Our mid-December still seems a bit mild.

I'm still trying to use my free time to complete a few more North Pole projects. Almost there....

That 1st image of Elizabeth just took my breath away. What a beautiful woman! And, just think, she never parted with 1 single piece of her magnificent jewelry. Beautiful shots of NYC too. I love NY always, but during the holidays it just shimmers, doesn't it? Love...

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5 and I'm still at it. Now I live by the Seine on l'Ile Saint-Louis. Do consider subscribing to my Paris letters and maps on Etsy and enjoy a taste of Paris in your mailbox every month to savor with a hot chocolate and croissant. I paint Paris dreams.
